A £35m purpose-built museum for the blend of ketchup and mayonnaise, the marie rose sauce, will be officially opened later in Portsmouth.
The prawn cocktail sauce will once again be on display at the Historic Condiment museum - yards from where a chef first invented it.
The new museum finally reunites the marie rose sauce with hundreds of other condiments, including chutney, horseradish and pesto.
The sauce was discovered in the mid-20th century and repopularised in the early 21st century, when hipsters took to rediscovering food from the 1970s, ironically.

How do you mean food from the 1970s...?
[Googles hastily] Oh Christ, there really is such a fad. How come nobody told me? I love all that stuff!!!
I never stopped eating them either.
I've never really understood fashions in food. Either something tastes great, or it doesn't. Cod in parsley sauce, prawn cocktail and black forest gateau are all lovely, if done right.
What was it with the '70s and two-tone brown?
The '70s were most memorably summed up for me as "The decade that taste forgot".
